February 17, 2017 @ 8:00 pm - 10:45 pm

Reg Meuross has that rare gift of being able to touch people through his songs and performance, on a really human level. He brings new album Faraway People and old favourites to Bristol Folk House and will be supported by his daughter, Lily Meuross.

Reg Meuross is a true moderntroubadour,representing contemporary English folkwriting at its best.“There’s something special about the way he writes and delivers a song” Townes Van Zandt. In the mid-1980s Reg Meuross formedthe Panic Brothers with RichardMorton, mixing Americana with humour and slickharmonies. Thencame the Flamingos, Hank Wangford, and now 11 highly acclaimed solo albums haveestablished his songs as ‘the hinges upon which swing the doors of perceptive English folk’ (Folkwords).

Reg’s songs comment bravely on life as hesees it, bringing wide ranging stories from the ghosts of WW1 soldiers to theravages ofdementia, and some of the most beautifully disarming songsand lyrics ever written. Reg has thatraregift of being able to touch people, through his songs and performance, ona really humanlevel. His words and music paint pictures that remain with thelistener long after the song hasbeen sung.

“Meuross, quite simply, is one of the best” Malcolm Carter, Pennyblack Music
